Manchester United secured a goalless draw at Aston Villa as Erik ten Hag’s future remained uncertain heading into the international break
Quite what this draw does for Erik ten Hag is unknown but it may just spare him the indignity of what seemed an inevitability hadslumped to a damaging defeat at Aston Villa. Maybe. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Sir Dave Brailsford, Omar Berrada, Dan Ashworth and Jason Wilcox, United’s top brass, had the best seats in the house and will surely review Ten Hag’s position over the international break.
At first glance the United team sheet felt like a strange act of self-sabotage by Ten Hag, with Evans and Harry Maguire parachuted into the heart of defence in place of Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martínez. Ten Hag’s team selection prompted Gary Neville to joke he thought he and his brother, Phil, might be lining up at full-back.
